Official PlayStation 2 Magazine

There are very few reasons why you really NEED to buy a magazine nowadays. Right now you’re reading this so you must be online in which case there are a mass of sites out there that are more up to date than just about any magazine. As soon as any mag hits the shops it’s out of date – it just may be the first time that you’ve happened across the information contained therein. If you’re now thinking “here he goes, he’s going to tear the mag apart”, you’re actually wrong. When I purchased my PC a couple of years ago the first thing I bought was a copy of PC Zone to go with it. There was a cover disc ...  Read the complete review

Having decided about a month ago that I was going to buy one of the new slimline Playstation 2 consoles I set about reading all I could on available and upcoming games as well as new and exciting projects in the PS2 world.

Although more expensive than its competitor - £5.99 compared to £3.99 for P2 magazine – Playstation 2 official magazine-UK had a little more “buy me” appeal to it, so I paid the nice ...  Read the complete review

Under my bed is a box full of magazines, mostly issues of the monthly Official PlayStation Magazine (OPSM), of which I have about over a years worth. It wasn't my preferred PlayStation publication; at a fiver it wasn't cheap - I felt the quality can be a mixed bag at times - but I liked to sample different games from the demo CD. At the time with news of the PlayStation 2 in it's early stages and the number of new PSOne releases being on the low side, attention was being shifted to the PS2 - however, I wasn't ready for such a change. Along with the odd content which I found questionable I soon stopped buying the magazine. Since then the internet had become ...  Read the complete review

Ah, what a refreshing change. The Official Playstation 2 Magazine is exactly that - official. Where in other cases, this means all games released by the company behind the console recieve high ratings no matter the quality due to the influence of the suits, this monthly publication is anything but corrupt in its reviewing policy. No, the brighter side of being an official magazine is reflected with this mag - for example all the important news about the console in question exclusively from the horse's mouth, they're the first to recieve demo copies of the big games to bring in-depth previews, and of course all the best games are given the go-ahead to ...  Read the complete review
